"Some example blockchain stories worth checking out from the press over the last few days in the attached links (quote from Vivek Wadhwa in the Washington Post): 'The blockchain is not useful just for finance. It is an almost incorruptible digital ledger that can be used to record practically anything that can be digitized: birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, deeds and titles of ownership, educational degrees, medical records, contracts, and votes. It has the potential to transform the lives of billions of people who lack bank accounts and access to the legal and administrative infrastructure that we take for granted.'” -Derek Miers

“Vitalik (Buterin) gave a definition of blockchain: ‘Blockchain is a magic computer that anyone can upload programs to and leave the programs to self-execute, where the current and all previous states of every program are always publicly visible, and which carries a very strong cryptoeconomically secured guarantee that programs running on the chain will continue to execute in exactly the way that the blockchain protocol specifies.’ Certainly, BPM is a big part of this understanding of blockchain.” -Dr. Alexander Samarin
